    Truman pursued an aggressive Cold War policy in Asia to contain the spread of communism. This included providing aid to Chiang Kai-shek in China, but refusing to send troops. When Mao took over China in 1949, Truman feared the domino effect and developed policies of containment and limited war. The outbreak of the Korean War led Truman to commit US troops to defend South Korea, without a declaration of war, in an effort to limit the conflict. The Korean War increased US military spending and commitments globally during Truman's presidency.
